About this kit

If you're a DBA or database developer currently working with Oracle or another relational database management system, learn how easy it is to get trained and certified for IBM® DB2® for Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows®. Features introduced in DB2 9.7 make it very easy to reuse your PL/SQL knowledge since DB2 has out-of-the-box support for Oracle's SQL and PL/SQL dialects. DB2 9.7 makes it easy to move applications, reduces enablement costs, and brings a radically lower total cost of ownership.

Expand your skills portfolio, or extend your DBMS vendor support to include DB2. You'll find that you're already almost there.
